Well I have literally just bought this campaign "just" for the ATC implementation. Having watched a couple of videos online it looks really well done. Was hoping to be able to change out the F18 (which I do own) for the Harrier as that is my go to airframe. Quick question. If I load up mission one in the editor and change to the Harrier will the mission (ATC parts) function still? - it will be worth the asking price just to be able to use the ATC implementation (ATIS etc) even if the actual missions won't work properly. (the link to a free copy of mission one in user files is no longer valid) (I note your next campaign is for the Harrier! - bravo - happy to test any ATC functionality if you need someone to of course!) Regards, Gary

For me, ATC, ATC and ATC upgrades...oh, and the dynamic campaign of course.

Thanks all, Is this just PG map? I had the same issue but only on PG so far. Regards, Gary

I can confirm Tobi does work with DCS although when I tried some time ago it was less than great. Your mileage may vary though of course. Regards, Gary

I suspect like most who have posted in this thread, DCS is both our most enjoyable AND frustrating flight siming experience. Some of comments certainly resonate personally. I was once banned for 12 months on the forum because I had asked, a little too often where the planned ATC improvements were with the release of 1.2.5 in June 2013 - that is 8.5 years ago now. I accept it has been explained that its difficult - and I'm sure it is - but I fear at this rate I'll not be around to see them when they do come along.

Just to add my thanks for taking this decision Razbam.

This works for me.

With a simple edit you can use the mouse to view around the cockpit AND click the mouse on buttons switches at the same time thus avoiding the Alt+C need totally. The file is clickable_common.lua - just change the last entry from "false" to "true" Not sure if it is IC compatible though and not found a way of adding this to my saved games entry but it works fine. clickable_common.lua

Hmmm. I have to turn off my radio because of the continuous loop atc gets into “delta 123, clear to taxi. Delta 123 clear to taxi.” Sometimes all the way to the target and back. Well I have never heard taxi or take off clearence from ATC for other flights. Yes, you can get some allied flight feedback - "Springfield 1, airborne" and AAR chatter as described above - "pre-contact" etc and AWACS calling BRA details every 2 seconds but not ATC calls for other flights for taxi, take off, landing clearance or other standard calls? Easy Comms off and definately on the correct freq! Fact this has been moved to "wish list" suggests there are only a few examples where you do hear other flights!

It would be better if ED could fix that option in the options tab. It is there but broken presently. Regards, Gary

Biggin Hill is argueably the most iconic Engliush airfield of the WW2 period. Not sure how any south of England WW2 map could possibly omit it? Hopefully it will make it in for release (or at somepoint after) Regards, Gary

Apologies, I was trying to be helpful not funny. I wasn't entirely sure if that is what you meant so I posted just in case. Regards, Gary

Right Hand console (top of ECM panel) - turn the knob to off? - removes RWR from HUD.

Although not appropriate - just out of curiousity I'd like to know: Can the deck crew statics be placed on land airfields? What happens if you use the Harrier on the CVN (assuming you have the SC module) - will the comms still work in some fashion? Gary

Why are threads or topics related to anything to do with Comms / radio interaction or ATC tucked away in either the "wish list" thread or eleswhere obscure? The OP has nothing whatsoever to do with "bugs and Problems" Wouldn't it be a nice idea to perhaps create a new thread under 2.5 just labelled "Radio" for all things Comms related? Kind Regards, Gary

Hermes is availabvle in the user files on the DCS website. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3308469/?sphrase_id=865873 Kind Regards, Gary

If anyone out there wants a template which already includes functional ATIS and Random Air Traffic (which is limited to their own red or blue bases) please see attached. This is something I cobbled together from various existing Mods and Moose scripts. My thanks to the original creators of each of course. ATIS is available at 3 airports (freq details in the briefing) RAT consists of A400's in Iran & C130's and C-17's for blue. Kind Regards, Gary ATIS Persian Gulf Dubai.zip

Final post of DCS World roadmap update thread - Kate Perederko: "[...]I have to admit that the release of the update last week didn't meet our expectations at all. We still have a lot of work to do with performance issues before we will be able to release it to the Stable branch. Please do not expect it to be released in April." I took her quote to be about the stable branch update timeline - not SC Gary

Wether the interaction is via a key press, or VA, I think the ability the "hide" the actual menu text message and your own pilots voice should be options. I know Viacom gives you the ability to remove your own voice (the DCS option is not working anymore) and DCS provides an option to remove subtitles but being able to do both (inc radio menu) would be good in my view. Kind Regards, Gary

Rudel, Thank you - very much appreciated. I've got the Virpil airport equipment Mod installed and working so with this addition I've got two of the three parts I need for my goal. Just ATIS to add and then see how I can fold all three elements into a new single miz. Thanks again and I will post here the final product if i manage to complete it. Regards, Gary

Rudel, Thank you for taking the time to reply. My apologies, I should have made it clearer that I fully appreciate that the mods themselves need to be downloaded and installed in "Save Games" I can of course download and install each as necessary - my request part was if anyone had an example miz that already made use of the mods and included the necessary scripts? Thanks again, Gary

To all the creative experts, I would like to create (or find an existing) mission template that includes various standalone Mods collectively. For example a base Miz that already includes: ATIS mod RAT (for both military and civilian flights) Airport misc items (fuel trucks, signage, generatrors etc) So my question is: Is it possible to find seperate miz files that include any of the above and then somehow merge them into a single new miz file? Finally my request is for details of anything that already includes some of the above, if not all? Thank you & kind Regards, Gary

Given the ammount of time modules exist in EA format - presently measured in years for complex items (and ATC has been said to be complex) I'd guess we are a very very long way off having the updated comms overhaul added. Regards, Gary

So here is my theory: Everyone is smashing the F5 key waiting for this "announcement of an announcement" and they are bringing the big hitter out to deliver it. (so it must be really big right?) How about if the SC announcement is complimented with "news" of the new "mind blowing" aircraft module ED is working on in the background and that module happens to be another Carrier capable aircraft? Maybe a AWACS capable module players can fly and then perform the GCI role in game? Just my theory of course. Kind Regards, Gary
